• Architect, develop, test, and maintain extensible application software to orchestrate complex robot workflows that expand our fleet management platform's core capabilities. You will own key systems in our fleet management software stack.
• Utilize your domain knowledge to work with product management and UX to create pragmatic technical solutions to customer business problems.
• Create interfaces between our fleet management platform's microservices and our mobile robots, frontend, and customers' external systems to control the fleet and surface its status.
• Provide elevated levels of support to assist with application-related field issues.
• Provide technical mentorship to teammates.
